April Ornament Of The Month – Yarn Basket By Sara Sach Crochet

 April Ornament Of The Month 

 Yarn Basket Crochet Pattern

By Sara Sach Crochet

The April Ornament Of The Month

 Is A Basket Full Of Yarn!

It can be made to have a Christmas theme

 with Christmas colors,

or use any colors you like.

Adding all kinds of different details like buttons,

 ribbon, beads, crochet hooks, needles and 

stitch markers that you have in your craft stash.

This such a fun project to make for 

yourself or for a gift.

I did not add a hanger, As the basket handle

 can be the hanger, or you can add

 a traditional hanger  is desired.

I had so much fun designing this ornament.

I just hope you have as much fun as I did.

there are so many color and theme

 possibilities for this ornament.

If you are not sure how to roll up the little balls 

of yarn, I do show you in the video 

how to roll them and secure them

 from coming unrolled.
